In the wake of Trump’s election, concerns are mounting as he suggests using recess appointments to push through controversial nominees without Senate approval. This tactic could challenge congressional authority and set a troubling precedent, prompting backlash from both GOP senators and constitutional experts.

The unfolding situation raises questions about the future of political norms and the stability of the governmental framework.
